INSTRUCTIONS--READ CAREFULLY

In order for this petition to receive consideration by the Court, it shall be in writing, (legibly handwritten or typewritten) signed by the Petitioner and verified (notarized), and it shall set forth in concise form the answers of each applicable question. If necessary, Petitioner may finish his answer to a particular question on the reverse side of the page or on an additional blank page. Petitioner shall make it clear to which question any such continued answer refers.

Since every petition for habeas corpus must be sworn to under oath, any false statement of a material fact therein may serve as the basis of prosecution and conviction for perjury. Petitioners should therefore exercise care to assure that all answers are true and correct.

When the petition is complete, the original and one copy shall be mailed to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Arizona, State Courts Building, 1501 West Washington, Phoenix, Arizona, 85007, and one copy to the Attorney General of Arizona, 2005 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, 85004-5025.
